@jgizzy Well think abt it from ur recievers end- the persons who ur talking to, their perceptions of YOU. You may be giving unintended vibes that youre self-obsessed, clingy, and tat u dont have enuf self respect or restraint to not reveal truly intimate details of your life. Pple can freak out if u treat them like theyre ur therapist. Nobody shud be an open book- being easy 2 figure out. takes the mystery out of any1s character and its a sure recipe to make pple respect you alot less.

Why not? I think I sometimes tell a lot of "personal" things to friends and sometimes people whom I've recently met. I understand that it's not considered good to reveal too much too early about yourself, but I don't understand WHY.
That example that was given, about the girl who was sexually abused by her father, was a horribly extreme example -- something a bit more relatable would likely be more helpful to the viewer to assess what might be deemed inappropriate.
